Dear all,
the time needed for running the gfortran testsuite has increased so
much that I am looking for options to get this down to something
that is more bearable when working on a Fortran-only patch.
I am already building with --disable-bootstrap, as I cannot afford
a full bootstrap. It is also not needed when dealing only with
Fortran.
Part of the cost seems to be the cycling through various optimization
options ("torture testing"), which is unfortunately the default.
I am nowadays considering the dg-options for each new test if cycling
is really needed or not. But this does not help with existing tests.
So how does one stop the cycling temporarily, and select only a certain
default option, like "-O2"? I tried to edit fortran-torture.exp, but
my attempts did not pull the right strings. Does anybody have a
working example?
Thanks,
Harald
